Daemons

General
Daemons are demonic spirits created first nearly a millenia ago. the eldest daemons have been around since the dawn of the enchanted forest's creation, starting first with Chernabog , the king of the daemons , who thusly created the Knights of Hell and the Horsemen from his hellfire not long after his own birth.

all daemons, besides the horsemen and knights , who were born of hellfire and created from nothing , are the damned souls of once living beings. those who were vile in life are damned to spend eternity as a daemon, serving chernabog. the most common of all daemons are the Black-Eyed Demons, who are the lowest tier rank of any and all demonic entities. daemons are formless, and their true form is that of a cloud of black smoke. to exist in a mortal plane they must possess a host body. you can tell if one is possessed by their demonic black eyes when agitated or provoked. the only way to expel a demon from a host body is through an exorcism, and the only way to truly kill a demon is with a special demon blade. the only daemons who cannot be killed in such a manor are the horsemen and chernabog himself.
